I had a wonderful father’s day this year, capped by weather fine enough to inspire a photo safari to the St. Louis Zoo just before closing time on Sunday. (Click the picture if you want to skip the words and just enjoy the photos.) This gave me the chance that I had been [...]
I just received my “new” Nikon 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 AF Zoom Nikkor lens and here are a few of the first shots with the lens on my D90. All are hand held at 300mm. (Click on the slideshow to see larger versions.)

Candy and I are just back from a week in Door County, WI. Wow! The stories we were told were all right: gorgeous sunsets, great food, interesting parks, fun shops.
We stayed in one of the bed & breakfast rooms at Trollhaugen Lodge on the north end of Ephraim. (They also have a [...]

We have a pretty nice home theater including a projected HD picture that is almost 100″ diagonal and fairly impressive 5.1 sound. This gear works great for DVDs and HD-DVDs (yes, I picked the wrong horse in that race) [...]
I was reading “Married to the Craft” in the June 2006 issue of Popular Photography. Hanson Fong, the subject of the article, was quoted as saying,
Over the years, a few really talented artists have been gifted with the rare ability to light and pose faces and bodies to make them most attractive. [...]
One of the main reasons why I upgraded from a Nikon D70 to a Nikon D200 is the vastly improved quality of available light photographs. I shoot a lot of indoor swimming pictures, often in poorly lit swimming pools.* I created a comparison album with a couple of typical pictures so you can [...]
I just upgraded from a Nikon D70 to a Nikon D200 camera: WOW what a difference. I have been too busy taking pictures to write about pictures but here are the things that leaped out at me first:
Available light image quality is vastly improved. I had been jealous of my son’s D50′s [...]
